I do appreciate Freeper help on this issue. He spent 3 weeks at a ISU summer math program the summer before last, and three weeks at the Catapult program at Rose Hulman this summer. He loved both of them but when I asked him which one he would really like to go to, he did like Rose Hulman.

The really good news in all this is from a personal standpoint that he adapted and did beautifully at both. It's not going to be easy cutting the apron strings and see him fly on his own but he will do it. God has been unbelievably good to Adam and our family.

When I was a HS senior, I took several classes with a truly gifted young man who did the Catapult program as well (this was the early 80's) and couldn't say enough about it.

Unfortunately I didn't stay the entire year there, so I didn't find out where he ended up going--but he was looking at RH, MIT, or CalTech. Suffice to say he did well wherever he went. And here I had to settle for two years at Ga Tech before I went broke and joined the Navy. I should complain about going to a "lower" school like GT (BTW--it's not. Trust me.)

I see that I repeated what you repeated above...information from Wikipedia.

Good. We are on the same track.
